Chapter 159: Sources of Stress

"How's it going today?"

"Very subtle ......"

At night, Liu Pleiades was already lying on the bed in the hotel, facing Erina's inquiry on the mobile phone, and the meaning of the answer was somewhat unclear. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What do you mean? Found a way to keep Kikuchi Engo focused? Erina wondered.

"Nope."

"That'...... What's the catch? ”

"Nope."

“…… Isn't that the worst-case scenario? What does it mean to be 'subtle'? Isn't it bad that the field training is only for a week, and there is no harvest for a whole day? Erina said helplessly.

"Is it bad?" Liu Yuxing muttered, and the scene of "catching a thief" appeared in his mind again.

Doesn't that seem bad?

"So how are you going to achieve 'seeing is believing'?" Erina asked rhetorically.

Liu Pleiades, who was outside the wandering object, heard Erina's words in a trance, and he didn't hear it too clearly, so he suddenly felt anxious, and hurriedly said: "What is seeing is believing?" It was an accident! ”

"Huh?" Erina was also confused on the other end of the phone, not knowing what Liu Pleiades was talking nonsense.

How did it happen that the qualification criterion for on-the-spot training was to achieve "seeing is believing"?

"Ahem, no, nothing, I mean...... I'll try! ”

"You can't see something you shouldn't see, do you?"

Liu Pleiades was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: Even the knowledge of love, Erina, who has to read girl's comics to supplement, when did she have such a keen intuition?

"Nope! Chunguo Pavilion is not a black shop, what can you not see? Hahaha......" Liu Pleiades reacted quickly and immediately diverted the topic.

"Is that so?" Erina is still suspicious.

It seems that the anti-scientific thing of "women's intuition", as long as it reaches a certain stage, even if it is a black belly, a poisonous tongue, arrogant, willful and low emotional intelligence...... The girl can also awaken!

"Why do I think you're thinking something rude?" Erina's instincts worked again.

"What's the ...... Rest assured! It's just a field study, and it's hard for me! Liu Pleiades brought the topic back again.

Erina seems to really regard "intuition" as an "illusion", but before hanging up, she still reminded a sentence that made Liu Pleiades sweat like a waterfall: "Seducing the female chef into your hands, or letting the female chef find the other half, etc., cannot be counted as 'seeing is believing'...... It's the same as 'not in the way of women's body, even if it has a Japanese style'! ”

“……”

Erina obviously remembers the first time the two worked together, Liu Pleiades was "called" by Fuyumi Mizuhara.

Early the next morning, when Liu Pleiades came to Chunguo Pavilion again to report for duty, he once again experienced the baptism of everyone's knife-like gaze.

Fortunately, there are no guests at this time, otherwise "Chunguo Pavilion" may be disqualified because of the restaurant service......

In fact, it is precisely because there are no guests that Izumi Butterfly and Kaori will stare at Liu Pleiades in the front hall in such a big way.

Liu Yuexing was weak-hearted, so he could only smile, but when he wanted to go to the lounge, he was stopped by Dieno Spring.

"You are not allowed to approach the lounge in the future! This is the unused barn key in North Point! Izumi Butterfly forbade him to approach the lounge.

"I didn't know that before...... Liu Pleiades muttered quietly.

"Huh? What did you say? ”

"I said 'OK'!"

In fact, this matter is indeed no wonder Liu Pleias, after all, Liu Pleiades was thinking about the location of everyone in the store at that time, and he knew that he was "sure" that he would not be "his own person" in the lounge.

Of course, it's not wrong to sneak in to "add" clothes, although the reason for such trouble is caused by some kind of physical advantage, but it's not good to say it directly to people! Especially for a junior......

So before, whether it was her or other insiders, they avoided talking about it, and they would only quietly go back to the lounge after cooking, change their clothes and come out again, but it turned out that Liu Pleiades misunderstood!

The reason why Dieyequan and the others didn't stop Liu Pleiades from going to the lounge before was because they were sure that Yuan Guo would definitely lock the door when he changed clothes, who knew that Liu Pleiades would directly lock it in!

Liu Pleiades took off his coat in the warehouse, and when he came out after changing into the uniform of "Chunguo Pavilion", Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo also came out of the kitchen, and prepared a ham and chicken roll......

"W-That...... Liu Pleiades, you ...... Try it! Mu Jiuzhi said with a dodgy look.

However, at this time, not to mention Liu Pleiades's on-site training task, which is to assist Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo to pass the assessment, if he shows any "abnormality", it will make the two even more embarrassed.

So Liu Pleiades also, as usual, tried the "Chunguoting Special Ham and Chicken Rolls" in front of him.

"Sure enough, it's a very stable tiger ...... I mean the level of the signature dishes of the one-star restaurant! Liu Pleiades encouraged.

Obviously, Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo has heard this sentence countless times, but he is not too happy, because the biggest problem is still not solved.

This time, Liu Pleiades already knew the "truth", so naturally he didn't dare to ask for anything to watch from the kitchen.

After eleven o'clock, a few tables of scheduled guests came, and Liu Pleiades, a guy who affected the appearance of the store, naturally hid back in his small warehouse.

Otherwise, even if he doesn't do anything, standing in the front hall is a thing that destroys the overall appearance of the "Chunguo Pavilion", after all, he can't demand himself according to the standards of waiters in star-rated restaurants.

And if you go to the kitchen...... Liu Pleiades felt a little embarrassed again, and he had seen the ordinary cooking process many times, so there was no need to observe it anymore, so he simply figured it out by himself in the small warehouse.

The problem with Kikuchi Enkai is that it is susceptible to external pressures...... This is both physical and psychological!

In contrast, physical pressure is easier to handle, and Kikuchi Yuanguo has already thought of a way, and what he wants to do is to relieve the psychological pressure of the other party.

"Usually the best way to relieve stress is to distract yourself, but it doesn't work now...... Liu said to himself.

Kikuchi Yuanguo's current state, if it plays normally, it is indeed enough to pass the evaluation, but the "sense of food" itself requires a high degree of concentration, and once it is distracted, it can be regarded as "playing normally"!

"I really envy Erina...... Although Kadozaki-sanpai is even more difficult to get along with, the tongue of God is useless for things like 'psychological problems'......"

remembered that on the weekend, Erina mocked herself on the phone as a "friend of women", Liu Pleiades couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was really a woman...... No, the life of the "Friends of the Maiden"!

The academy doesn't know whether it was premeditated, or crooked, or simply out of consideration for the bad relationship between Liu Pleiades and Kadozaki Taki, the arrangement of Erina assisting Kadozaki Taki and Liu Pleiades assisting Kikuchi Sono is very appropriate.

If Erina had come, she would have succeeded...... Double the pressure on Kikuchi Garden!

Erina's personality is likely to say something like "I don't want to affect my field training because of you, so don't lose my face......

"Wait, more stress?" Liu Pleiades suddenly seemed to think of something.

Thinking of Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo's appearance of suffering from gains and losses when he arrived on the first day, and worrying about dragging down his "field training" results, Liu Pleiades suddenly thought, could it be that Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo was nervous, not because of herself, but because she was worried about "others"?

Worried about affecting Liu Pleiades's "field training" results is only one aspect, maybe he is still worried that because of his mistakes, the efforts of Izumi Butterfly and Kaori will be in vain, and even worried that Kadozaki has an excuse to bully her again, and the academy will be disappointed......

From another point of view, it is also because everyone's expectations for her are too high!

Kikuchi Yuanguo is just a girl who is only 18 or 9 years old and has a very introverted personality, is it really good that the academy is in such a hurry to promote her as a "monster who can compete with professional star chefs although she is young"?

Including Liu Pleiades himself, hasn't he always been "forcing" Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo for his own "field training"?

"Maybe after tasting her food again and again, it not only doesn't build confidence, but it has the opposite effect!" Liu Pleiades couldn't help but knock his head hard.

Of course, the only thing that made Liu Pleiades feel that he and Yuanyue Academy were actually not "very despicable" was that Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo herself also liked cooking, otherwise she would not have had today's attainments in cooking.

But it's one thing for people to like it, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about others putting a burden on her......

And Kikuchi Sonoka's personality is different from Kakuzaki, who has always been competitive, these "burdens" pressed on her, which did play a "motivating" role, but at the same time, her psychology began to deform under the pressure of these "burdens"!

After that, Liu Pleiaus's face was cloudy, and he thought about it for a long, long time in the warehouse...... It wasn't until half past two that Chunguo Pavilion closed again, and Liu Pleiades did not come out.

It wasn't until after seven o'clock in the evening that everyone packed up and got ready to get off work, and Liu Pleiades came out of the warehouse.

As a result, I happened to see that Izumi Butterfly had already changed her clothes and was about to leave, while chatting about the assessment in a few days......

Of course, although Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo is worried that he will be "abnormal", in fact, only Liu Pleiades in the store approves of this matter, and the others are still full of confidence!

Speaking of this matter, it was also a tone of "the garden fruit must be fine......

Their personal relationship with Yuanguo is actually very good, as can be seen from the fact that they almost "killed" Liu Pleiades before.

Even if they are excited now that they are "going to pass the star rating", it is not because they will get any benefits, but more because they are happy and proud of the garden fruit, not realizing that it is their expectation that has caused invisible pressure on the garden fruit......

For example, now Liu Yuxing has noticed that Senior Sister Mu Jiuzhi is actually just a pillar away from them, leaning on the pillar and not making a sound, with a tired look on her face.

Although Kikuchien is a head taller than Kadozaki Takashi, it is obviously more protective than the latter......

Just like now, Liu Pleiades walked in front of Mu Jiuzhi Yuanguo after the others left.

"Huh? Liu Pleiades? You—You're not gone yet? Go back and rest! Kikuchi said unnaturally.

"Senior sister is tired, right?"

"Nope!" Kikuchi's tone seemed even more unnatural.

Liu Pleiades suddenly laughed heartily, and then said something that didn't match his "hearty" appearance at all!

"Let's elope tomorrow!"

"Well, tomorrow...... Huh? Eh, eh? (To be continued.) )
